Alignment: Chaotic evil



This horrible monster resembles a giant with the head of a tyrannosaurus, except that it stands ten times taller than any storm giant. Quills bristle from its shoulders. It carries a bow as long as a redwood tree.

Azhior stands 225 feet tall and weighs 40,000 tons.

Alter Reality (Su): Azhior, the Lord of Extinction, is part of the fabric of reality. Once per round as a free action he can duplicate any spell of 14th level or lower, or any epic spell of DC 159 or less.

Create Spawn (Ex): Any creature slain by Azhior with more than 20 Hit Dice rises as a winterwight. Creatures with fewer Hit Dice rise as wights instead.

Deadly Criticals (Ex): Azhior treats any critical threat as a critical hit; scores a critical hit on a natural roll of 16-20; and has a critical multiplier of x5 on all attacks.

Extinction Level Event (Su): Once per minute, Azhior can strike with a meteoric blast centered on a point he chooses within 50 miles -

½ mile radius: 1280d6 (avg 3780) bludgeoning damage and 720d6 (avg 2520) fire damage (Reflex DC 111 half); 240d6 (avg 840) disintegration damage (Fortitude DC 111 half)

1 mile radius: 1280d6 (avg 3780) bludgeoning damage and 720d6 (avg 2520) fire damage (Reflex DC 111 half)

2 mile radius: 1280d6 (avg 3780) bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 111 half)

Furthermore, the 1-mile radius is filled with clouds of concealing dust (treat as a fog cloud spell) for 2d6 minutes afterwards. Strong winds (gale force or higher) will clear away the dust in a single round.

The save DC is Charisma-based.

Tenacious Extinction (Su): Immortals whose manifestations are killed by Azhior outside their home plane take five times longer to rejuvenate.

Mortals killed by Azhior cannot be restored to life by mortal magic, even True Resurrection. Only an immortal (Hero-deity or above) can do so, and only using an epic spell with the Life seed, a Wish or Miracle spell/spell-like ability, or the Alter Reality cosmic ability.

Aura of Extinction (Su): All creatures within 5200 feet (one mile) of Azhior suffer five negative levels for as long as they remain within the aura. If they remain in the aura for at least 24 hours, the negative levels may become level loss.

Blood-Scenting Aura (Su): All allies of Azhior within one mile (5200 ft.) gain six stacked Epic Prowess feats (a +6 bonus to all attack rolls).

Cosmic Entity: Azhior is an entity, a sidereal abomination born from a sidereal of entropy and a goddess of change. As such, he is a blighted facet of reality itself, which grants him the following benefits:
Cosmic String (Ex): Azhior can only be permanently destroyed by a being of equal or greater divine status. If destroyed by a being of lower divine status, he simply rejuvenates in 1d10 minutes.
Cosmic Toughness/Cosmic Firmament (Ex): Azhior uses d100s for hit dice and has double hit points.
Divine Bonus (Ex): Azhior is effectively a greater deity and adds a +16 divine bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks); difficulty class (for all special abilities, spell-like abilities, or spells); initiative; saving throws and spell resistance.
Immunities (Ex): Azhior is unaffected by any non-epic magic or natural effects such as: ability damage, disease, natural elements (cold, drowning, fire, lava, lightning etc.), poison and so forth. He can still be affected by artifacts (epic magic items) and epic spells. Azhior is also immune to negative energy damage and energy drain.

ARTIFACTS

The First Bow: This bow always adds Azhior's strength bonus to damage. Otherwise it is a Titanic +50 fiery blast icy blast unerring accuracy thundering composite longbow. Azhior uses 1.5% orichalcum-alloyed Titanic arrows.

The Belt of A Dozen Gods: Adorned with the scalps of a dozen slain immortals, this mighty artifact is the center of the Lord of Extinction's physical power, feeding his strength from their residual energies. It is a belt of epic Strength +110.

Claws of Finality: These act as gloves of epic Dexterity +80 and turn Azhior’s slam damage into permanent damage.

New Feat: Epic Natural Attack [Epic]

Prerequisites: Improved Natural Attack

Benefit: Choose one natural weapon for which you possess the Improved Natural Attack feat. That natural weapon deals damage as if one size category larger, stacking with the benefit of Improved Natural Attack.

--
A humanoid figure made of blazing but tenuous white flame, tall as a giant but slender and elegant, stands before you. Its motions are precise and graceful.

Astroneads are star-born fey, dwelling on the surface of stars and flying through the space occupied by their coronas. They have also migrated into planes infused by positive energy, especially the Positive Energy Plane.

On stars' surfaces, they build eerily beautiful towers and palaces of frozen plasma within sunspots. If encountered away from their strongholds, they are either wandering alone or dancing in pairs or small groups. Full of chaotic joy, the astroneads love beauty. However, they are careless of the lives of non-fiery creatures, and may burn them to death in their dance - even scour large regions if somehow summoned to a living planet's surface.

--

Breath Weapon (Su): 100-foot cone of plasma and radiation; 12d8 fire damage, 12d8 electricity damage, and 1d4 Str and Con damage; a DC 35 Reflex save halves the damage and negates the ability damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. When an astronead uses its breath weapon, it must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again.

Heat (Ex): An astronead's body burns with starfire. Creatures striking the astronead with unarmed strikes or natural weapons take 5d6 fire damage (Reflex DC 33 half); nonmagical weapons striking the astronead burn or melt to uselessness (Reflex DC 33 negates). The astronead's melee attacks transmit this same heat. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Irresistible Fire (Su): An astronead's fires burn with the heat of a sun's core. All fire resistance has only half effect (e.g. fire resistance 30 is treated as fire resistance 15) when applied to fire damage dealt by an astronead.

Plasma Bolt (Su): Three times per day, an astronead can fire a bolt of plasma as a ray attack (+25 ranged touch) to a range of up to 500 feet. This bolt deals 6d6 electricity damage and 6d6 fire damage.

Radiation Aura (Su): Every round a creature is within 150 feet of an astronead, it must make a Fortitude save (DC 33) or take 1 point of Strength and Constitution damage.

Spell-like Abilities: At will – delayed blast fireball (DC 29), fire shield, searing light, sunbeam (DC 29), wall of fire. 3/day – fire storm (DC 29), prismatic spray (DC 29), sunburst (DC 30), incendiary cloud (DC 30). Caster level 30th.

Summon Fire Elementals (Sp): Once per day, as a standard action, an astronead can summon either three greater or two elder fire elementals. This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell.

Immunities (Ex): An astronead is immune to fire damage, to the effects of vacuum, and to the environmental conditions of their natural habitats (stars' surface/corona and positive-dominant planes).

Integral Weapon (Su): An astronead's weapons are formed from its own energies; thus, the astronead cannot be disarmed or its weapon sundered. The astronead's weapon is not damaged by its intense heat.

It attacks the character’s opponents to the best of its ability. If the character can communicate with the astronead, he or she can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. The summoned astronead acts normally on the last round of the spell and disappears at the end of its turn.

Calling upon this spell’s force of cosmic fire burns away a part of the caster’s life, inflicting 12d6 backlash damage on the caster.

The caster calls up a wave of power that bursts forth as fire and lightning. This effect deals 25d20 fire damage and 25d20 electricity damage (avg. 262 damage each) to all in the radius of effect. A moment later, a primal fire elemental appears in the center of the effect. It acts immediately, on the character’s turn. It attacks the character’s opponents to the best of its ability.

An acidblast explodes with a shattering blast of thunder and a devastating rain of acid. A stormblast deals 10d20 points of acid damage (avg. 105) and 10d20 points of sonic damage (avg. 105) to all creatures within the area. Unattended objects also take this damage. The character takes 12d6 points of damage (avg. 42) upon casting. The character points his or her finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which the acidblast is to detonate. A fist-sized ball of thundering acid streaks forth and, unless it impacts a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the indicated range, expands into its full area.

NOTE: This one was specifically designed as a better version of the ELH hellball epic spell. Same DC; replaces the XP cost with 2d6 backlash; significantly higher average damage (210 for 20d20 vs. 140 for 40d6); and no easily-resisted/commonly-immune fire damage.

Alignment: Neutral evil

A huge reptilian creature coils before you – its lower body is that of a giant serpent, massive as a whale, from which spring a cluster of serpent-heads which seem to serve the being as legs, two strong arms equipped with black scythe-like claws, and a head which might be human were it not for the snaky eyes.

"Double-shaped, she appeared a woman to the middle of her body, with clusters of poison-spitting serpents for hair. Her giant form, from the chest to the parting-point of the thighs, was covered all over with a bastard shape of hard sea-monsters’ scales. The claws of her wide-scattered hands were curved like a crook-talon sickle. From her neck over her terrible shoulders, with tail raised high over her throat, a scorpion with an icy sting sharp-whetted crawled and coiled upon itself." - Dionysiaca by Nonnus

Campe is the monstrous guardian of Tartarus, a horror of the Lower Planes put in place by the Titan Cronus in ages long past. This horrible dragon-monstrosity seeks to prey upon any who might free any of the prisoners of Tartarus... or any planar travelers who wind up there by mischance.

Campe is 50 feet long (excluding an additional 30 feet for her long, whip-like stinging tail) and weighs 20 tons.

Breath Weapon (Su): 450-ft. cone, usable three times per day. Campe's breath weapon covers its victims in a writhing mass of vermin that strip flesh from bone; this deals 40d12 damage (avg. 260). Furthermore, the vermin cling to their prey, inflicting 20d12 damage in the next round and then 10d12 damage in the third round, before they fall off and perish. A DC 63 Reflex save halves the initial damage and prevents the lingering damage.

Planar Schism (Su): As jailer of the Lower Planes, Campe possesses this dimension-wracking power, which may be unleashed only once per day. The Planar Schism must be used against a target within 300 ft., and it allows a Will save (DC 56) to negate. If the target fails its save, it is hurled into the deepest layer of the plane of Tartarus; when it arrives, it takes 80d6 (avg. 280) bludgeoning damage and is stunned for 1d6+1 rounds from the dimensional chaos, and the target is unable to leave the plane for 60 days. If the creature is killed by this damage, the rejuvenation of an immortal is delayed by 60 days, and a mortal cannot be returned to life until the 60 days elapse.

If Campe and the target are already in the lowest layer of Tartarus, the target is not moved, but still takes damage, is stunned, and is unable to leave the plane for 60 days.

Poison (Ex): Sting, Fortitude DC 63, initial damage 3d8 Str, secondary damage 1d8 Str drain.

Spell-like Abilities: Always active - true seeing; At will - dimension door, greater dispel magic, locate creature. Caster level 68th; spell save DC 26 + spell level.

Dimensional Lockout (Sp): Campe permanently radiates the effect of a dimensional anchor spell as an emanation with a radius of 700 ft.; this does not affect her own spell-like abilities.

Divine Bonus (Ex): Campe is effectively a lesser deity and adds a +8 divine bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks); difficulty class (for all special abilities, spell-like abilities, or spells); initiative; saving throws and spell resistance.

This colossal horror of the deep is the greatest of the star-spawn and the lord of that race. Mighty cleric of Azathoth and master of alien techno-magics, Cthulhu is a being frightening even to lesser gods.

Cthulhu normally stands about 100 feet tall and weighs roughly 700 tons. However, by use of his Divine Immensity ability, he can attain much greater size – up to 400 feet tall and 40,000 tons (Macro-Fine).

Combat:

Cthulhu treats all critical threats as critical hits (no need to confirm). He Power Attacks at a 3:2 ratio and automatically Power Attacks for whatever amount of the attack roll exceeds AC.

Cthulhu opens battle with the use of his destructive spells (favoring quickened empowered flame strike, and enlarged x4 fire storm) and spell-like abilities, using his disintegration ray to snipe distant foes. He then closes to melee, dissolving his weakened foes with his acidic tentacles.

Acid (Ex): Cthulhu's tentacles drip with vitriolic, alien slime, dealing 10d6 additional acid damage.

Divine Breath: Once every 1d4 rounds, cone, 275 ft. range, 12d6 divine damage (Reflex half); destroys prismatic sphere or wall, walls of force, etc.

Divine Immensity: Cthulhu can change his size by one size category per round, to a maximum of two size categories (Huge to Macro-Fine).

Disintegration: At-will: ray, 1,200 ft. range, +55 ranged touch, Fortitude DC 45, 25d6 damage, 3d6 damage on a successful save. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Spells: Cthulhu casts spells as a 25th-level cleric. Domains: Chaos, Sea; spell save DC: 30 + spell level.

Spell-like Abilities: Always active – detect magic; at will – acid arrow, call lightning, greater magic fang, mage armor, magic missile; 1/day - call lightning storm, control weather, meteor swarm.

Trample: Reflex DC 46. The save DC is Strength-based.

Artifacts:

Great Tomb-Throne of R'lyeh: As long as Cthulhu remains within one mile of this vast sepulchral throne he gains Regeneration 100; acid, fire, lawful, and good attacks deal normal damage to Cthulhu.

Incomprehensible Shield: This amulet of alien metals produces an energy shield around Cthulhu; it is always active unless Cthulhu chooses to lower it (a free action). It has the effect of four applications of the divine ability Force Field; the force field has a total of 200 hit points and regains 4 hit points per round. In addition, it provides the effect of bracers of epic armor +25.

Bands of Power: These alien-metal bands graven with unearthly runes act as a belt of epic strength +40.

New Weapon Special Ability (Destroying): A destroying weapon's blade is sheathed in faint green light. It disintegrates part of its target, dealing an additional 2d6 damage whenever it hits. When a destroying weapon scores a critical hit, it flashes with lambent green disintegration energy; the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + weapon's enchantment bonus) or suffer 8d6 additional damage times the weapon's critical multiplier (16d6 for x2, 24d6 for x3, 32d6 for x4); if the save succeeds, the target suffers only 1d6 additional damage times the weapon's critical multiplier (2d6 for x2, 3d6 for x3, 4d6 for x4).

Odin commonly casts spells as Still, Silent, Quickened, x2 Empowered for double damage or Still, Silent, x4 Empowered for quadruple damage (12 levels of metamagic in either combination). Along with his ring Draupnir’s spell-boosting effects, this can lead to terrifying combinations, such as a 200d20 (avg. 2100) damage from a x4 empowered polar ray (25d6 base, doubled cap and d20 dice → 50d20, quadrupled → 200d20).

ABILITIES

Spells: Odin casts spells as a 30th-level wizard (Caster Level 46th, with divine bonus).

ARTIFACTS
Rune Bracers: Ancient rune-carved bracers of epic armor +90.

Gungnir: This spear is an adamantine weapon, its head engraved with runes of destruction inlaid with orichalcum (the spear is 0.024% orichalcum, making its base damage 3d8). It is a +24 universal energy blast spear.

Draupnir: This ring grants Odin terrible arcane power. His spells that deal dice of damage based on level have their cap doubled, and deal d20s for damage (so Fireball 10d6 becomes 20d20).

Hlidskjalf: Odin's throne is set in Valaskjalf, one of his halls, at the center of his realm. While seated on the throne, he gains the effect of the cosmic ability Cosmic Consciousness, and gains a +90 insight bonus on Spellcraft checks made to cast epic spells.

 

[Khisanth the Ancient]

Went back and fleshed out Odin a bit more.

Still not sure what the Epic Spell DC bonus for Hlidskjalf should be... it should be impressive; since the throne is fixed, it should be a bit more powerful than a standard artifact.

I'm actually not real happy with Extra Portfolio (War) - sure, he's a war god, but Wisdom portfolio would also fit him, and maybe others as well (Odin represents a lot of things - I could see arguments for Death ["god of the hanged"], etc.); and more mechanically, the -16 Wisdom from the War portfolio is not good for Odin, and the Uncanny Force Mastery is redundant with his Magic portfolio. Unearthly Weapon Focus or Enlightened would probably be mechanically better for his Cosmic Ability.
